Use to treat wood in conjunction with other termite treatments, such as a termite bait application or a soil treatment (not labeled as a primary new construction termite treatment)

Use as a replacement for fumigation or as an add-on to fumigation to provide residual protection

Works best when wood has higher moisture content.

Highly effective & economical

Virtually odorless

For interior and exterior use

Manufactured with a concern for the environment

A CLOSER LOOK

Tim-bor Professional is an efficient, fast and economical way to treat a structure for target pests. It can be used as a wood preservative, fungicide and insecticide on its own or in conjunction with other treatments as a supplement. Because of its application flexibility as a dust or liquid, PMPs can address many treatment niches with this single product – Tim-bor Professional can be applied as a dust, spray, foam or mist onto wood and cellulose materials or inside wall voids, cracks and crevices.

The active ingredient in Tim-bor Professional is Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT), a natural mineral salt with a low mammalian toxicity and no known resistance. Tim-bor Professional has strong brand awareness and a long history of effectiveness in the market place. Because it is well known in the industry, it is often requested by name, delivering a strong confidence factor for PMPs.

Tim-bor Professional is available in 1.5-lb. bags, 25-lb. pails, 250-lb. drums and 1500-lb. Super Sacks.

HOW IT WORKS

Tim-bor Professional’s active ingredient is Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT), a natural borate mineral salt and micronutrient. It is manufactured for use in the form of a water-soluble borate powder. Once it’s applied in a liquid form by foaming, misting or spraying onto wood or other cellulosic materials, the borate active ingredient creates a protective envelope and remains for years of protection. Often Tim-bor Professional is dusted into places like wall voids where pests like to hide as an additional protection. When the dust gets on the insects, they clean themselves and consume the boron during the cleaning process.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND TIM-BOR PROFESSIONAL

DOT is a natural form of elemental boron, which is essential for the healthy growth of plants and believed important in human calcium metabolism. Because animals and humans simply take what they need from their diet and rapidly excrete any excess via the kidneys, DOT has a low acute toxicity. As a result, Tim-bor Professional is about half as toxic as sodium chloride or table salt (in a laboratory setting), but very effective against insects and fungi that do not have the same excretion mechanisms.

DOT maximizes the solubility, the rate of dissolution and the boric oxide content to give a borate active ingredient far superior to traditional boric acid or borax. At the levels used in Tim-bor Professional applications, it prevents pest infestation by inhibiting pest metabolism on a cellular basis. The tetrahydroxyborate anion forms a chelate complex with the cis-adjacent hydroxyl groups in the ribose sugar of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), with the cationic nitrogen of the nicotinamide moiety providing electrostatic stabilization of the chelate. In this configuration, NAD and NADP cannot be used by the dehydrogenase enzymes of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway or the tricarboxylic acid pathway, and so the cellular energy generating mechanisms, including adenosine triphosphate production, are shut down.

What Our Customers Are Saying!

Shirley called to schedule inside service with Bill and complemented on his professionalism when doing their pest control services. Wanted management to know what a good employee they have working for the company.

Jim Owen goes above and beyond. He is the best service professional that we have ever had. I wanted to call and tell you because it is not often you find someone that goes this far above and beyond.

- Craig B.

Customer said Korey was doing a fantastic job. When they bought building it was overrun with roaches and since Korey has been coming out they have not seen any bugs. They are very pleased with service.

Loved Marcus, good guy all around. Fantastic reflection on Terminix.

- Nicholas

It went well Bill came treated the kitchen and we were less then a week from our quarterly outside service so he took care of that too. I have done business with them since 2005 never had a problem or a bug, at least not for long.
